Made in the United States.
first named SG-I and SG-X quickly. Two series are limited elsewhere.
Solid mahogany body, no table, mahogany set neck, rosewood fingerboard 24 frets medium (yeah!)
Tune-o-Matic, a single microphone, 500T, splitable. One volume, one tone.
The handle is large, round, flat is the key.

In summary, simple finish is easy to lower the price of the instrument, but all the same beautiful finish.

UTILIZATION

As long as we love handles Gibson, it is very pleasant. The sound is precise, access to acute is exceptional (SG).
The guitar is quite light (thinner than a standard SG), is the ergonomics are very good.
The sound is excellent, and even if the 500t is a rock Destinn energetic, you can get many shades playing on Plit and tone. Obviously we regret the absence of micro serious, but it would be a SG-Z.

The grip is immediate, remarkable sound for a guitar of this price.
NOTE: the handle is well suited to picking as well as slide.

SOUNDS

My perfect what I play, rock, blues, new age, provides a sound is the Mike Oldfield for those who love.
I use a marshall 30th anniversary, and often a boss gt-6 branch directly to the console.
Nothing to say about the sound.
That said, the sound is less greasy than a Les Paul, it is undeniable, it is not a defect, matter of taste.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 4 months, I came across it by chance, for 600 euros used.
I do not regret that choice.
I was looking for a Gibson SG preference, with 24 cases, unless there was money for a SG Supreme (sic), I could not do better for this price.
You just have another guitar for a micro serious nonetheless.
